CASH-REGISTER AND MONEY-CHANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 31,1912.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. Muzzr, acitizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county ofMontgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Cash-Registers and Money-Changers, of which I declarethe following to be'a full, clear, and exact de scription.

This invention relates to improvements in cash registers, and has moreparticular relation to improvements in such registers as are providedwith devices for handling cash by different clerks.

The object of the invention is to provide mechanism whereby the cash ofthe several clerks is kept separate and a record made of the amount ofsale, together with the amount taken from the machine, by any particularclerk.

With this and incidental objects in View, the invention consists incertain novel features of construction and combination of parts, theessential elements of which are set forth in appended claims and apreferred form of embodiment of which is hereinafter specificallydescribed with reference to the drawings which accompany and form partof this specification.

Of said drawings: Figure 1 represents a front elevation, partly brokenaway, of the devices embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a centralvertical section through the same, taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, theupper and lower portion of the machine being broken away. Fig. 3represents a detail perspective view of one of the ejector slides andits operating arm. Fig. 4 represents a detail side elevation, partly insection, of the bill ejecting devices. Fig. 5 represents a detailvertical section through one of the bill winding rollers. Fig. 6represents a detail side elevation of the operating devices for the coinejector controlling cylinders.

Fig. 13 represents a detail sideelevation of the purchase printer wheels, locking pawls and connections.Fig. 14 represents a detail pers ective view of one of the ejectorcontrolling cylinders. Fig. 15 represents a detail sect-lonal'view ofthe purchase printer Wheel p nions and their operating segments.

Described in general terms the present machine is designed for thereception of coins nto a series of independent coin or bill d splayerswhereby a particular clerk will display in his particular displayer theamount of money last received by him, this amount of money to bedeposited into a shallow tray and to be afterward automaticallydisplayed but at the same time removed beyond withdrawal.

The machineto which I have attached my present improvements is of themultiple counter type equipped with printing attachment, disclosed inpatents granted to T. Carroll Nos. 703,369 and 754,049, and for anydetailed description of the multiple counter and printing featuresreference is made to said patents. The machine of the type mentioned isprovided with a printing mechanism for printing upon a continuous stripthe amount of each sale, together with the designation of the clerkmaking that particular sale. In the present invention I have widened theprinting mechanism so as to print upon the detail strip not only theamount of the sale and the clerks designation, but also the amount ofmoney withdrawn from the machine by that particular clerk. By this meansany mistakes in making'change are at once discernible and can be chargedto the clerk making such mistake. This is possible because each detailon the detail strip represents the amount of the sale and the amount ofchange of each transact-ion, and these two amounts taken together mustrepresent the amount and 75, represent such a denomination of money ascould have been presented for change. If the detail strip had shownhowever, first 25 and then 50, there would obviously be an error by thisparticular clerk. as our coinage has not a 75 cent plece that might havebeen presented for change.

Further, if the detail strip had shown25 and 80, this would obviouslyhave been a J mistake and would show that 5 in excess of the properchange had been paid the customer. With this general understanding ofthe functions to be performed by the machine, I will now describe indetail the several mechanisms by which these results are. accomplished.

Each bank of keys or selective devices 1 controls a differentiallymovable segment 2, Fig. 2, which meshes with an intermediate 20 gear 3,that in turn actuates the registering and indicating mechanisms asdisclosed in said patents. Each segment 2 carries a roller 4 which playsin a cam slot 5 formed in an arm 6. These arms 6 are secured to one endof nested sleeves 7 while to the other ends of said sleeves are securedsegmental rack plates 8 which mesh with pinions 9, Figs. 12 and 15,mounted upon a shaft 10. The pinions 9 are connected to the amountprinting wheels 11 by nested sleeves 12 surrounding said shaft.

By reference to Fig. 8 it will be seen that the setting lever 13controls the adjustment of the clerks counters or totalizers 13 whichare mounted upon a reel, by means of a rack 14 and a pinion 15, so thatupon the operation of the machine the counter positioned will be broughtinto mesh with the segments 16 secured to one end of nested 4o sleeves17 the other ends of which have fastened thereto the intermediate gears3, for a detail description of which reference may be had to theaforementioned patents.

The rack 14 is provided at its rearward under side with an additionalset of teeth 16, which meshes with a pinion 17 secured to a shaft 18near the left hand end, to the other end of which is fastened asegmental rack plate 19, Fig. 6-which in turn meshes 50 with a pinion20, Fig. 12, made fast to an end of a sleeve 20",

sleeve carrying a clerks type wheel 21.

The mechanism above described relates to the setting means for theclerks and the 55 amount purchased printing wheels. Next will bedescribed the mechanism for setting the amount of change printing wheelsand means controlled thereby for governing the amount of change to beejected.

Referring to Figs. 6, and 12 it will be seen that levers 22 are providedfor setting the change printing wheels 23. These levers are pivotallymounted upon a shaft 24 secured to the side frame of the machine. The 65inner ends of the two right hand end levers the other end of said of thesaid bar.

are given a yoke formation so as to extend to the left of the dollarssetting lever, and are then with the dollars setting lever extendedrearwardly terminating into segmental rack plates 24*, which mesh withpinions 25 secured to one end of nested sleeves 26, also surrounding theshaft 10, on the other ends of which are fastened the change printingwheels 23. The levers 22,

as shown in Fig. 1, extend through the cabinet and are provided withpointers which play over indices on said cabinet- The object ofextending the inner ends of the cents and dimes levers to the left ofthe dollars lever, is to bring the change wheels into proper printingrelation with the purchase printing Wheels. The segmental rack plates 24also mesh with rack teeth 27 formed upon the upper ends of centrallypivoted arms 28, the lower ends of which are also provided with similarrack' teeth 29. The teeth 29 mesh with pinions 30-secured to one end ofnested sleeves 31 and a shaft 32, the other ends of said. sleeves andshaft having secured thereto cylinders 33 for controlling the ejectors.

A. series of rack bars 34 meshes with pinions 30 to convey theirmovements to similar pinions, each forming a part of a plurality ofchange making devices, one for each clerk. These rack bars are guidedupon the frame of the machine by pins 34 playing in elongated slots 34in said bars 34.

The rear end of the plate 19 for setting the clerks printing wheel isprovided with rack teeth 35, Fig. 6, which mesh with a pinion 36fastened to one end of a short horizontal shaft 37, to the other end ofwhich is secured a segment 38. This segment engages with teeth 39 formedin the upper end of a pivoted arm 40, the lower end of which is providedwith a segmental rack 41, that in turn meshes with teeth 42 formed inthe edge of a longitudinally movable bar 43 supported by pins 44 whichplay in elongated slots 45 formed in said bar. The object of extendingthe shaft 37 and equipping it with the segment 38 to mesh with the teeth39 of the arm 40, instead of having said teeth engage directly with thepinion 36, is to have the arm 40 operate at the extreme right hand andso as not to interfere with mechanisms 1 hereinafter described.

Bell crank levers 46 pivoted to a forwardly movable slide 47 areequipped at one end with pins 48, which lie under the lower edge of thebar 43, and are arranged to be engaged by cam projections 49 forming apart The other ends 50 of the bell cranks are hook shaped and all butone normally lie out of engagement with pins 51 secured to the lowerends of arms 52, the upper ends of which are fastened to rock shafts 53.The slide-47 at its upward and forward end is provided with teeth 47which mesh 130 with teeth 47 formed in the lower end of an arm 47centrally pivoted upon a stub shaft 47. The upper end of said arm isprovided with a roller 47' which plays in a cam groove 47 formed in adisk 105. The slide 47 is mounted upon the casing by means of pins 47which play in slots 47 formed in said slide. As before described, one ofthe bell cranks 46 is always in engagementwith its companion pin 51 ofthe arm 52 secured to one of the rock shafts 53, so that when the slideis moved forward by the rotation of the disk 105, as hereinafterdescribed, one of the shafts 53 will be rocked. The hook ends of thebell cranks 46 are so shaped as not to allow the same to drop out ofengagement with its pin 51 after its own pin 48 passes out of engagementwith its respective cam projection. 49,-upon the forward movement of theslide 47. As the latter returns to normal position it will also returnthe rock shaft by the forward hook end of the bell crank contacting withthe pin 51. This forward end of the bell crank is lengthened so as tocontact with its pin no matter what position the bell crank is in.

The shafts 53 extend through the machine, Figs. 2 and 3, and each onehas loosely mounted upon it a series of ejector arms 54, to each one ofwhich is attached one end of a spring 54*, the other end of said springbeing coiled around the shaft 53 and attached thereto, so that when theshaft is rocked the ejector arm will. be rocked with it. The lower endof each 'arm 54 is provided with a pin 55, which plays in a verticalslot 56 of an upright 57 forming a part of an ejecting slide 58, mountedto slide in a groove formed in a horizontal support 59 fastened to theside frames of the machine. Each arm 54 is also provided with anupwardly extending finger 60 equipped with a laterally projecting pin61, which is engaged by a pin 62 projecting vertically from the shaft53, so as to positively return the ejector arm 54. The controllingcylinders 38 are located directly above the arms 54, and are providedwith ribs 63 which are arranged to be brought into the path of any oneor all of the fingers 60 and thereby prevent the operation of theejecting slide 58, in which case the coil springs 54 will be put undertension.

Directly in front of each series of slides 58 are coin tubes 64 fomninga part of a removable money holder 65. As the slides move forward theyeject the bottom coins of their respective tubes, which then run down anincline 50, Fig. 1, to a common receptacle not shown. Each holder, asshown in Fig. 8, is provided with a lock 66 and also I has the initial.of the clerk to whom it belongs stamped upon it. While only four of theholders are shown, it is to be understood that there are to be as manyas there portion of alongitudinally movable slide 67. The object ofhaving the pinion 17 mesh with the slide 67 instead of having said slidemesh directly with the pinion 17, is to bring the below describedmechanism to the left of the multiple counters. Laterally projectinglugs 68, secured to said slide,

are arranged. to contact with the lower beveled ends of pawls 69, andcam the upper ends into engagement with pins 70 projecting from avertically movable slide 71. From the slide 71 legs 72 extend downwardlythrough strips 73, see Fig. 4.- These strips act as guides for thevertical movement of the slides 71.

The pawls 69 are pivoted to the upper ends of vertically movable bars74, and are normally forced out of engagement with the pins 70 by leafsprings 75, mounted in the tops of the bars 74, contacting withlaterallyextending pins 76 mounted upon the pawls 74. The lower ends ofthe bars 74 are provided with rack portions 77 and elongated slots 78.Extending through the slots 78 are the shafts 32 of the dollarcontrolling cylinders 33. These shafts are further provided with cams 79which engage with the sides of the bars formed by the slots 78. Whenchange is required amounting to five dollars or more, the dollar changelever 22 rotates the shafts 32 to such an extent as to bring the cams 79into contact with the forward sides of the slots 78, and thereby cam therack portions 77 of the bars 74 into engagement with the idle pinions80, which in turn mesh with similar pinions 81. Each bar 74 is providedwith an enlarged circular portion 74', fitting snugly in a cut outportion of the casing, which acts as a fulcrum when the rack portion 77is rocked forward or backward.

The pinions 80 and 81'are loosely mounted upon short shafts 82 and 83respectively, which are supported by the ends of the removable holders65 and by the end coin tubes 64. Between each pinion 81', and. to itscompanion storage spool 84, is a ratchet and pawl connection 85, Fig. 5,which rotates the spool 84 as its corresponding bar 74 is raised, buthas no effect upon said spool as the bar is lowered. Attached to eachspool 84 is a tape 86 which extends upwardly and forms a supply spool87. henever it is desired to load the machine the holders are firstunlocked and then withdrawn by the proprietor or any designated person,who places in the coin tube. and the bill holders any desired amount.The bill. holder is loaded by placing the bills upon the vertical partof the tape and winding the supply spool by hand.

The lugs 68 uponthe slide 71 are so situated that, whatever position theadjusting lever 13 is in, one of the lugs 68 contacts with itscorresponding pawl 09, and thereby forces its hook end into engagementwith one of the pins upon the vertically movable slide 71, so that whenthe latter is moved upwardly one of the bars 74 is also raised. Asbefore described, if the rack portion 77 of the bar is in engagementwith its pinion 82 a bill will be issued from that particular holder anddropped into a receptacle (not shown) from which it may be removed bythe attendant. If it is not in en gagement with the pinion it will belifted idly.

The aforementioned vertical movement of the slide 71 is accomplished inthe following manner. A cam disk 88 which is secured to the end of thepower shaft 89, and which is used to bring the counters and theregistering segments into engagement as described in said patents, isprovided with an anti-friction roller 90, which plays in a horizontalslot 91 formed in the upper end of a T shaped bar 92, the lower end ofwhich is pivoted to the slide 71. As the disk 88 rotates in thedirection of the arrow, Fig. 4, the slide 71 will'be first raised andthen lowered, carrying whichever bar that may be coupled thereto by thepin and pawl connection. The hook end of each pawl 69 is so shaped thatwhen once started upwardly it is impossible for its leaf spring 75 todisengage the pawl fro-1n the pin, without moving. the bar 74 in advanceof the slide 71, which it is not strong enough to do.

I have described above a single bill holder which is preferably utilizedfor discharging five dollar bills, thereby permitting full change to bemade up to and including amounts to $9.99, according to the quantity ofchange determined by the setting levers 22. It will of course beunderstood however, that any number of these bill discharging devicesmay be employed and con trolled by the cams 79 to effect the properdischarge of any number of bills desired. For instance, it might bedesirable if four dollars in change were required, to give only twosilver dollars and two paper dollars, in which event the projections 63and 79 would be properly positioned to elfect this combination.

Referring to Figs. 2, 10 and 11, the cash displaying and depositingdevices will now be described. Extending across the front of the machineand just below the keys, is a cylindrical shaped casing 93 having theupperand lower portions opened. The front of this casing is providedwith a glass plate 94, or any other suitable trans mrent materialthrough which may be seen the amount tendered for the last sale. Fittingclosely within this casing is a rotary displayer 95 secured to a shaft96, the outer end of the latter having secured to it a gear 97, see Fig.10. This displayer is divided longitudinally into siX divisions by disks98, and each division into' four compartmei'its by dish shaped plates99. As the displayer is only given a quarter turn upon each opera-vtioniof the machine, by mechanism hereinafter described, it will be seenthat each com partment will be brought under the .top opening to receivethe money and over the lower opening to deposit same within one of thecash drawers 100, of which there are six corresponding to the divisionsof the displayer. It will also be apparent that as the money is onlydeposited in the cash drawer upon the second operation of the machine,it will be displayed behind the glass 94 between the first and secondoperations. The displayer fits so closely within the casing that it isimpossible to withdraw any of the money displayed between the operationsof the machine.

The gear 97 fastened to the displayer shaft meshes with a similar gear101 adjacent to which is a locking plate 102 with four cut away portions103. The plate 102 and the gear 101 are supported upon a stub shaft 104.Engaging with one of the cut away portions 103 is a disk 105 havingattached thereto a segmental rack plate 100 which is secured to one endof a short shaft 107. The disk 105 which is given a complete reV-olution at each operation of the machine, is provided with a cut outportion 106 adapted to receive the extensions 102 of the locking plate102 during the time the segment 106 is in engagement with the teeth ofthe gear 101, see Fig. 11. Just as the segment 106 passes out ofengagement with the gear 101, the periphery of the disk engages the nextcut away portion of the plate 102 and looks it and consequently thedisplayer 95. To the other end of said shaft 107 is pinned a gear 108which meshes with a similar gear 109 loosely mounted upon a shaft 110,which also acts as a fulcrum for the change levers 22. The gear 109meshes with a large intermediate gear 111, see Fig. 10, which in turnengages with the pinion 112 secured to the operating handle 113. Thepreviously described motor shaft 89 has pinned to itsright hand end agear 114, which meshes with the intermediate gear 111 and is alsoconnected to gearing for operating the printing mechanism as fullydescribed in the Patent No. 754,049.

The record strip 115 is fed over a platen 116 from a supply roller 117to a storage roller 118, and is moved forward as" the platen isreciprocated to take an impression from the printing wheels. The checkpaper 119 is fed downwardly from the supply roll 120 through a chute121, between a feed roller 122 and printing cylinder 123, between knives124 and 125, and thence over a platen 126 which is reciprocated uponeach operation of the machine as described in Patent No. 754,049.

The clerks and purchase printing wheels are provided with an aliningdevice, Fig. 13, similar to the one described in the above mentionedpatent; whilethe alining device for the change printing wheels isslightly different. Referring to Fig. 10 it will be seen that thealining pawls 127 for the change wheels are constantly in engagementwith the V shaped notches formed in the alining disks 128 secured to thechange printing wheels. These pawls 127 are pivoted upon a shaft 129,and each one has an upwardly and rearwardly projecting finger 130equipped with a pin 131 about which is coiled one end of a spring 132.The other end of each spring surrounds a similar pin 133 extending froma lateral extension 13 1 of an arm 135 which is pivoted upon the shaft129.

'It will be seen from the above description that the pawls 127 will holdthe change wheels in any position to which they may be moved by thelevers 22. In order to lock the change wheels 23 from movement by thehand levers 22 during an operation of the machine, the arm' 135 isprovided with a roller 136 which plays in a cam groove 137 of a disk 138that is given a complete revolution upon each operation of the machine.The configuration of the groove 137 is such, that as soon as the handle113 is started the rearward end of the arm 135 is camined downwardlycarrying the pins 133 of the lateral extension 134: into contact withthe pins 131 of the alining pawls 127, and thereby prevent thewithdrawal of the pawls out of the notches in the disks 128 until theend of the operation.

I of course contemplate using any suitable form of alarms or bells fordesignatingwhich clerk is operating the machine, in addition to theusual clerks indication, but as such devices are so old and well knownin the art it has not been thought necessary to show and describe them.

It will be seen from the foregoing description that each of the clerksis provided with a cash drawer for receiving the cash which isdischarged into it from the rotary coin displayer, and that thesedrawers are locked so that only the proprietor can have access to them.It will be further seen that as each clerk has his own series of cointubes, and as thus ringing a bell which will notify a certain clerk thathis counter is being wrongfully operated.

If the amount of money tendered is the exact amount of the purchase, theindicators "of the machine will show the identical amount shown in thecoin displayer, and no clerk would ever dare put aless amount in thecoin displayer than that shown by the indicators, as the proprietor inglancing at the machine would instantly see that the indicators showed agreater amount than that shown in the coin displayer. Further,

the clerks also will keep watch of this special coin displayer to seethat no amounts are placed in the displayer less than those indicated bythe machine.

At the beginning of the days business the proprietor places a certainspecified amount in each series of coin tubes and bill receptacles. At.the end of the days business he removes the different coin tubes andbill receptacles, counts the amount of cash in each, and knows at oncethe amount that has been extracted. 1 The amount of change given out byeach clerk, added to the amount on his particular counter, which may beascertained at once, equals the sum which should be found in hisparticular cash receiving drawer. As an additional check upon, theamount withdrawn from any particular series of tubes, the proprietoralways may examine the detail strip and ascertain just how much eachclerk has withdrawn without counting the money in the tubes at all, asno clerk can withdraw any amount from the tubes without leaving a recordof this act and the amount he has withdrawn. This record is always madein connection with a record of the amount of the sale, so that anymistake in giving change can be instantly detected by an examination ofthe detail strip. In other words, if the amounts withdrawn from the cointubes, added to the amounts of the counters, do not correspond to theamounts found in the cash drawers, the proprietor can ascertain justwhich clerks have made mistakes, intentionally or unintentionally, andin just what transactions they made these mistakes.

' ()ne of the greatest sources of loss at the present day is themistakes made by clerks in making change. While it is possible at thepresent time to know that a clerks cash drawer is short at the end ofthe days business, it is not known whether he made a mistake in givingchange or whether the money has become lost in some unaccountablemanner. With the present invention it can be determined at .once whetherthe shortage in any particular clerks account is occasioned by mistakesin making change or from other c'auses. For instance, if a particularclerks counter shows. sales of $25.00 and the detail strip shows that hehad issued $10.00 in change, his cash drawer should contain $35.00. Ifthe cash drawer does not contain this amount, by glancing over thedetail strip it may be ascertained at once whether he made a mistake inmaking change and upon what particular transaction the mistake was made.If the change as repre sented by the detail strip is correct, then theshortage in the cash drawer is occasioned by less than the proper amounthaving been put into the cash drawer for some transaction. A furthersafeguard in the present invention is the fact that the clerk does nothave access to the money in the cash drawer at any time except when hereceives it and deposits it in the coin displayer. He'would runconsiderable risk in retaining any part of this money rather thanputting it into the coin displayer, as the amount intlie displayer mustshow at all times to the proprietor, or to the other clerks, as beingequal to, .or greater than, the amount shown on the indicators. Theeffect of this is to compel the clerk who receives money for a certaintransaction, to put it into the machine without holding any back, andafter it is in the machine it is out of his reach altogether. Any timehe withdraws money from the coin tubes he virtually signs a receipt forthe amount withdrawn. In this manner there is very little likelihood ofa clerk putting the wrong amount in the displayer, either intentionallyor because of carelessness in counting the amount received, as he isliable to. detection at once.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:
